Sodus Bay Scooter Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Hey all, I'm wondering if its good or bad for my rods and reels being stored in the garage through winter with it getting really cold in there. Thanks Quote
motodmast Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Nope, wont hurt a thing. Line might be a little stiff if you take it directly out of the garage and cast it. But i doubt it. As long as there out of the rain, your good! Quote
Super User Teal Posted April 19, 2013 Super User Posted April 19, 2013 I keep all my fishing stuff in my shop. As long as it is dry and out of direct sunlight it should be fine. Ive never had a problem with my reels or line after being stored in the shop. Quote
Sodus Bay Scooter Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 Sounds great, I'm gonna do it then. I'm putting up a rod rack on the wall in the garage. I was afraid that the condensation or just extreme cold might take a toll on the internals of the reel or rod even. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted April 19, 2013 Super User Posted April 19, 2013 I keep 5 or 6 "princess" combos inside the house - all the rest of my stuff is in my unheated, but insulated, garage. The coldest I have seen in the garage is 34 degrees - no subfreezing temps. No problems with any of my gear so far... Quote
bassh8er Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Little late to be asking this question????? Haha, I keep all my rods and reels in a walk-in closet inside the house. More because of paranoia than anything, but I would think your stuff would be fine in the garage. I do store all of my plastics in their original bags in plastic totes in the garage with no noticeable effects so far Quote
Sodus Bay Scooter Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 Little late to be asking this question????? I thought someone may catch on to that! Yeah I kept my stuff indoors this season, actually every season. I just got a rod rack for the wall but was always afraid the cold temps may not be good for my investments. Quote
Sodus Bay Scooter Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks for the replys guys. I sure do love this forum. Quote
BassThumb Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I think it'll be fine as long as it's dry out there. Quote
